Pulse Explore wireless earbuds and new Pulse Elite wireless headset revealed; features lossless, low latency audio using new PlayStation Link technology.
It’s not meant for traveling, is the thing. You can’t use if for cloud gaming. It has to be on the same wifi network as your PS5 to play games. It’s meant to be played in the same house/apartment as where your console is. That’s why this seems so very niche.
Expect without even having the functionality of Android. If it at least took an approach like the Nvidia shield so it could be a full on Android tablet or gaming or media machine it’d be cool. But, just a barebones streaming device is disappointing.
Sony: you know how everyone loves these cool new portable consoles? Let’s do that, but they can’t leave their house, they can only use it to play their ps5, ohb and we’ll make it about half the price of the console… yeah, they’ll fucking love it!
I loved the psvita, I used to play it basically anywhere because the battery lasts forever and it’s tiny. I can’t justify buying one of these new consoles simply because they’re so big! If Sony were to make a psvita 2 with a similar footprint and battery life I’d be first in line.
It’s so big and bulky, how am I supposed to carry that thing anywhere, even traveling. The Switch fits in my pocket

So it’s kind of like a glorified android tablet with built in controlers?

Bit baffling they’re doing this type of thing given they used to make stuff like the PSP and PS Vita.
You’d think a PS Vita 2 would be the play.

I truly do not understand their thinking process here.
I feel like somebody made a wish for Sony to get back in the handheld market, and when they did, a finger on a monkey’s paw curled up.
